I want to start running but I'm too self conscious h:

You'd fit in fine. I see people of all shsapes and sizes running.


of course some idiots give runners a hard time, because they're jealous.

Well it's not my size and shape that worries me, I just think I run funny

Though objectively speaking I probably don't run funnier than the average runner nowadays and no one else seems to care, so.....

all runners have a unique style I reckon. Vey few run without imperfection, maybe some Kenyans perhaps.

 

[Kiwong]

5km in 31:35. Feels closer to running the keg on my effected side lifts more.

I've had a good week, 5k's 8 of the last 9 days. 33 minutes today around the fastest I have run it yet, and it felt strong. Either that or I was distracted by the fact I had to pee a mile in. Whatever works I guess, right? ::

 

[PugofCrydee]

Pretty happy. Yesterday I bench pressed 100 kg's - first time in ages. Most I've ever pressed is 142.5 kg.

Not that I'm expecting to get to that again. But if I can get to 120.. I'd be sweet with that.

 

[Kiwong]

I ran 4km three days in a row. Just running without timing myself, getting used to different surfaces, uphills and downhills, and regaining practice in re-using different muscle groups.

 

[Kiwong]

5km 30:25 best post stroke.

 

[Kiwong]

2 more 5km easy runs 36:41, 34:50

 

[Kiwong]

longest post stroke run at 8km.

 

[vj288]

Two good 5k days in a row. I like running in the fall weather, not too cold and not too hot - just right.

 

[Kiwong]

I've run 2 5km 34:37 and 33:52, trying to get my weak left leg to stride out further.

 

[Kiwong]

another 8km. It used to be the shortest run I did, now it is the longest.

 

[Kiwong]

longest run post stroke 10km. Best 5km 30.02

 

[lily]

I didn't do exercise today but yesterday and other days. I'm very proud of you Kiwong!

edit- I did my half hr exercise today!

 

[lily]

Medication has caused me to gain more weight than i originally was and i lost 10lbs in about two weeks after changing my diet!

 

[Kiwong]

Thanks Lily, good on you for exercising.

Today I did 10km. 34km this week.

 

[Kiwong]

I can run 6km fairly easily, but I am frustratingly slow

 

[Kiwong]

8km this morning. I really have to try to forget how slow I am running.

 

[Kiwong]

6km runs 2 days in a row. Running is becoming more natural. Except for running downhill, my legs have forgotten how.
